No, carbon 14 (C14) cannot be used for dating lava flows because Carbon 14 is used for dating objects or things that were one alive. Since lava is a non living object, Carbon 14 dating cannot be used for dating lava flows.
Carbon 14 dating or carbon dating or radioactive dating is a method used to determine the age of any object that was once living.
